As we enter a new year full of optimism and promise, it is only fitting that we look towards the future. Spring 2011 offers warmer and sunnier days filled with color and a lighter load of layers to bare. We’ve seen pops of orange, neutral tones and distinct metallics, but there is also another color, or rather absence of one, that is making a huge play on the runways. White has been seen in numerous designer collections in daywear, eveningwear and even business wear. From an equestrian white gown at Ralph Lauren to a monochromatic suit at Calvin Klein, shades of white and ivory are a huge wardrobe staple for Spring.
